Thanks a lot, Dorothea!
I will try to apply the document you are suggesting and will probably be
back with more questions.
Cheers,
Stan

Greetings,
It was certainly asked before, but I would like to confirm whether it is
possible to have a completely different (from the rest of the IR) look
and
feel for an individual community and its collections. I have v.1.5.1 on
Windows and want to use Manakin.
The answer is that it is *mostly* possible. People who get to an item
through its community or collection page will only ever see the one
Manakin theme. Anyone else -- and that's many users; I would say
*most* users who don't just land on an item page, grab what they want,
and go -- will almost certainly see more than one theme, e.g. when
searching or browsing across the entire repository. (I've also noticed
some mildly odd behavior around admin screens and themes -- e.g. when
trying to log in from a page with a non-default theme, it shoots me
back to the default theme briefly, then back to the non-default theme
for the submit screens.)
There's no good way to fix this that I can think of; it's an
indeterminate problem. But for public-relations (we want our own
branding) purposes, Manakin is pretty much good enough, because
communities/collections can look completely different, and even (to
some extent) behave differently. Compare the front page of the UW
repository http://minds.wisconsin.edu/ (default theme) with the
community page for the Madison campus
http://minds.wisconsin.edu/handle/1793/8334. This is Manakin atop
1.5.1.
And if yes, what is the best way for a
novice to start modifying it? I read some posts and the Wiki, but maybe
there are some good introductory how-to(s) that I am missing?
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Manakin_theme_tutorial should get
you started.
